Great little booklet that shows the concept of stack and whack piecing. The projects show possibilities with design and colors.

It might be a little early to post a review of this since I just bought it today and haven't actually made anything from it yet. But I bought it because someone had taught me this technique at a quilt retreat a few years back; I've made a few quilts using the basic idea, but could never get it to work quite right. What a difference it made reading her actual instructions! Now it all begins to make sense...

Plus, I like some of the variations she presents on the basic concept. I'm particularly a fan of the stained glass window version towards the back of the book.

So, although I've already made three and a half quilts using this idea (the half being a UFO I really must finish before winter hits!), I can see a few more in my future. They're a hoot to do and, if you stick to fairly basic versions, pretty fast. Great gifts for babies, kids, and anyone needing a cuddle quilt.

I have been using this technique for charity quilts for years and not even knowing it. ( WONKY NINE PATCH QUILTS) Out of entire book I only liked four quilts Curry, Stained Glass, Going Green and Roll of the Dice. The rest were to abstract and too much of a mish mash for my tastes. I guess I do not like abstract art....
